    EC2: Turn off IPv6 DAD
    
    Disable Duplicate Address Detection in EC2 instances.  The networking
    configuration in EC2, with IPv6 addresses assigned by DHCPv6 and
    host egress filtering, makes "duplicate addresses" impossible.
    
    This speeds up the boot process in EC2 by 2 seconds.
